Good for you!! What kinds of things are you doing to help yourself stay focused? (by the way, I don't log into the community every day, so if I don't reply it's absolutely not personal. :) )

Congratulations! I started a few months before you and had over 30 lbs. more than you, but our stories are very close! Just about the same age, loose skin issues, and although I don't enjoy it, I know it's a result of the success I've had. I'm only about 12 lbs. from my goal weight (also at 150). One big difference is I…

I am FAR from an expert, but I believe that that big initial results are very common for most of us. It was for me. As I understand it, when we first go on Keto the body will shed a lot of water it's been retaining, and that can only last so long. Hopefully some of our more knowledgeable folks can pitch in their feedback…

Before - (and even up to just a couple of months ago) I barely took 1,500 steps most days due to sedentary life and work life. Now - I'm up to walking 1.75 miles and working towards that being 2 miles in the next couple of weeks. Never imagined that would happen again.

I am not dairy-free, however I don't eat a lot of dairy overall now that I am on Keto. I never heard of Nutpods before and just did a search on them. I do use heavy cream in my coffee, and am considering trying it out. It would reduce some calories for me and if it's a good taste I'm fine with stopping the heavy cream.…

thanks!

Do you buy these in your local store?

You definitely know how to cook a steak!

I love your judgy cat! Gorgeous!

I know what you mean. I actually started and run two different groups on Facebook that are not food related at all. One is about practicing intentional acts of kindness, and the other related to the art of cemetery statues and headstones. I am super diligent in making sure no one is ever off topic and if there are any…

I don't disagree with that, however folks in this group are more supportive and less interested in knowing your overall life opinions before deciding to assist or attack. :) Not so on Facebook.

@solska - these are the only ones I've found so far on MFP. I'm not interested in hearing folks rail against Keto, particularly while munching on a Big Mac, Super Sized Fries, and Super Sized soft drink. Thanks for the reply. :)

I eat Mission Low Carb Tortillas, mostly the wheat ones. They have 2g net carbs. I don't have them every day, but probably several times a week. I'll have one with deli sliced turkey, or tuna, etc. I also have bought the Franz zero carb bread and really like that for sandwiches. I have that much less frequently because…

That is one smart 3 year old! It all looks fantastic! (except I can't do the olives. :) )

I want some of that steak right NOW!

Yes, All Day I Dream About Food is a good site. The second link also takes me to that site. Did you intend that? Thanks for sharing some tips with me and the group![/quote] Sorry! Here is the correct link. https://www.genaw.com/lowcarb/ [/quote] Thanks again! It's very simple and clean. I like that.

Thanks. I'll check that out. I am specifically looking for other groups on this site right now (MFP)

I like shiratake noodles too!

I love this in soup, too! Also, I have used it with home made pasta sauce and other ways as well. I buy it on Amazon in the four pack 'box', and it's less expensive. It doesn't have the pretty packaging so that cuts down on the cost. Super glad I found this stuff!

That burger looks great!

What brand are you using? I never have used one but am interested in how accurate they might be.

Thank you! I have to give this a try.

Hi. I am by no means a Keto expert, but I have been doing it since September. Like @HerbsandMore, I didn't experience a lot of negative symptoms at the beginning. I did drink a LOT of water. You mentioned 20 carbs a day. Are you referring to 20 g of carbs or NET Carbs? Keto is about the net carbs. A friend shared a drink…

Yes, please let us know how it turned out!

Yes, All Day I Dream About Food is a good site. The second link also takes me to that site. Did you intend that? Thanks for sharing some tips with me and the group!

That's a great idea and looks delish!

@psuLemon - I did look up Low Carb Yum based on your recommendation. As many sites as I have found, this was a new one to me. Some great recipes there! I've already made plans to make a few of them. Thank you!

That looks fantastic!!

Hi, psuLemon - I have seen some of your posts on the low carb board. Thanks. I am getting better at finding recipes now, although still wish that it were easier to find them within the groups and even on MFP in general. There seem to be lots of good recipes for premium members, but it's not the easiest thing to search. :)

Thanks. I am not super familiar with Reddit, and I didn't know that kind of thing was available there. I'll check it out. Also agree that Pinterest is simply fantastic.
